How to Save Money at For Pets Sake Animal Hospital
Schedule Regular Vet Visits
One of the best ways to save on vet bills is to prevent expensive health issues before they develop. By scheduling regular wellness checkups, your vet can detect health issues early, helping you to avoid costly treatments and surgeries down the road.
Price Shop for Pet Prescriptions
Oftentimes our fur babies are prescribed human drugs off-label. Your vet is apt to charge more for these medications than you would pay at your local pharmacy. In fact, big-box or chain pharmacies can offer steep discounts. So it’s best to price shop.
Pet Insurance
Most pet insurance providers will pay between 80% and 90% of the vet bill. You can even get coverage for routine care and things like vaccinations and dental cleanings. If you do the math, you’ll most likely find that pet insurance makes financial sense in the long run as well as gives you peace of mind.

Get Quotes & CompareGetting to Know Your New Vet: Essential Questions to Ask
Choosing a new veterinarian is an important decision for any pet owner. You want to find someone who is competent, compassionate, and a good fit for you and your fur baby. To help you get the most out of your first appointment, here's a list of essential questions to ask your new vet:
Tell me about your experience with [pet type].
Different vets have different areas of specialization. Some are experts with cats, some dogs, some pocket pets, and some horses. Knowing that your vet has vast experience treating your specific type of pet can bring you peace of mind.
How do you handle emergencies?
You must know what to do in case of a pet medical emergency. Inquire what after-hours policy the clinic has, whether they have on-site emergency care available, and if they have a relationship with any nearby emergency animal hospitals.
How do you communicate with pet owners?
Good communication is key to building a trusting relationship with your vet. Ask how they prefer to communicate (phone calls, emails, online portal) and how often you can expect to hear from them.
Are there any breed-specific health concerns I should be aware of?
Some breeds are predisposed to certain health conditions. Knowing what to watch out for can help you catch problems early and get your pet the treatment they need.
Do you have any questions for me about my pet?
This is a great question to ask because the answer will show that the vet is interested in getting to know your pet as an individual and is willing to listen to your concerns.
Bonus question: Can I take a tour of your facility?
Getting a feel for the clinic's environment can help you and your pet feel more comfortable during your visits. Remember, you’re not just looking for a veterinarian, you’re looking for a partnership. Do not be afraid to ask these questions and any others you can think of. Any vet worth their salt will be happy to answer them. Because the more informed you are, the better equipped you'll be to make decisions about your pet's care! And that should be every vet’s top priority.

We went here to have our dog of 16 years cremated, the people where very friendly and the "office cats" are very cute it's also worth noting that out of all of the at least 20 vets that we called they had the best price

They took care of my furbaby for the last 6 years until he passed on 10/17/19. Our family was put in a comfortable place to say goodbye to our beloved and they helped us feel at peace thru the hurt.

If I could give this vets office 0 stars, I would. I previously had my pets there, but transferred to Johnston Animal. From Eduardo, the unprofessional front office manager that uses the vet’s private documents to get women’s phone numbers… Talk about horrifying! To the vet techs not being truthful of the state of animals when being picked up. Dr. Cotton is extremely unprofessional, overly emotional, lays blame on her clients, and has done absolutely nothing about the complaints against her staff, especially Eduardo. Do yourselves and the lives of your precious pets a favor and avoid For Pets Sake at all cost.

Dr Cotten is the best. Some of these negative reviews are so one sided that you’d be a fool to believe them. Some people that are friends of friends with issues that aren’t even involved have the nerve to say bad things about the practice, when they have neglected their own pets health against medical advice. No one will offer you the great care that Dr Cotten will. This is a women who worked thru cancer and chemo and took one day off. The only doctor here! If you want the best for your pet, and you follow her advice and don’t wait years to act on it as so in the bad reviews have but they don’t tell that part… this is the place!

Dr. Cotten has been treating our pets since she came to Selma. She is so compassionate and genuinely loves all pets! Highly recommend her!
